Title
Approval and action on a plan to increase raw water
Body
SUMMARY: Greg Davenport, the Mayor, City Manager and the Director of Engineering met with Army Corps of Engineers and discussed raising the dam at Meadow Park. The Army Corps basically gave the reply that they would not step in the way of the project and they would permit the project if all criteria for the permit was acceptable and if TDEC signed off on the permit.
The next step for this process is to set up a meeting with the permit approvers of TDEC. Unlike the Army Corp, TDEC has not been in the loop of all the previous studies.
An amendment in the amount of $15,000 to J.R. Wauford and Company’s contract is attached. The amendment is needed to consolidate the study information in a fashion that TDEC can look at the facts and tell us how they would permit the project.
When this task is complete, the Engineers will be able to outline the steps in the project and will report this information to the City Council.
A budget amendment is not expected.
